Vivendi Universal Games today announced that Robots is currently in development by Eurocom Entertainment Software and scheduled for a first quarter 2005 launch to coincide with the theatrical release of the Robots film being produced by Twentieth Century Fox. The Robots is being developed for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. Based on the upcoming Twentieth Century Fox CG animated feature film hitting theaters on March 11th, 2005 being directed by Academy Award-winning director Chris Wedge (Ice Age), -- the game will place players in the role of the film's hero Rodney Copperbottom, as he sets off on adventures through the living worlds of the Robots movie.

The Robots game will incorporate movie assets (character, graphic and animation assets) to give players the feeling of playing in the film's universe. The game will follow the movie's premise closely: The Robots' world is about to be taken over by an evil tyrant and it is up to the player to save his fellow robots from a tragic destiny. Players will hop on a train to a mechanical metropolis of moving gears and winding parts, meet an cast of characters and battle evil machines -- ultimately discovering the many ways a robot can turn his parts into unique gadgets. Look for the game when the movie is released in Spring 2005.
